Mine is called Eileen - after my Mom. It was originally her machine that my Dad gave me after she passed away. I learned to sew on her older machine - a singer one of those black and gold ones that she traded for this machine. It is a Fleetwood and I know was purchased pre 1969, because in Feb 1969 the Boston area had so much snow we only went to school 5 days, and I sewed lots of clothes that month on this machine.
Knock on wood - it never breaks and just keep oiling it, it sews through anything. Only does two stitches staight and zig zag - but it sews great.
I'll run that ole girl to the ground.
